The State Highway Administration (SHA) warns drivers of hazardous conditions on Maryland roads, particularly in the Eastern Shore. The SHA urges motorists to avoid US 50 (Ocean Gateway) since only one westbound lane going towards US 301 is open near the outlet shopping center in Queenstown where construction is currently underway on a bridge replacement project.

The SHA advises that alternate routes to westbound US 50 are US 13 or US 113 going north through Delaware. If drivers use US 50 West, they can turn right onto MD 213 at Wye Mills, then left in US 301 leading to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

“Remember, a new law enacted Oct. 1 mandates drivers must treat intersections with non-functioning traffic signals as four-way stops. Do not assume you or the other driver has the right-of-way; make eye contact if possible and proceed safely through the intersection,” said State Highway Administrator Melinda B. Peters.

Peters said drivers can expect downed trees and high water on the roads.

Express bus company Megabus has also canceled service to more than 20 cities from Sunday to Tuesday due to the hurricane. The company said that it would send an e-mail to customers who are booked on canceled routes.
